It's reasonable for me, a stuntman, to live a crazy life, right?

Chapter 933: The Fat Lady’s shameless remarks… The fight continues until death!
After a night, it was August 8nd.

After entering the working day, the daily box office of "Detective Chinatown 2" finally could not continue to maintain at 3 million yuan, but dropped to 2.86 million yuan.

Of course, "The Legend of the Gods" on the other side is even worse, with the daily box office directly collapsing to 1935 million!
At the same time, many blockbuster films that had been announced with great fanfare before, as if they had agreed in advance, announced their start of filming on this day:
"The oriental fantasy special effects masterpiece "Asura", produced by Ningying and with a production cost of 7 million RMB, has officially started filming today!"

"The main creative team of "Asura" was revealed for the first time. Many powerful celebrities and young actors from both sides of the Taiwan Strait and Hong Kong have joined the cast, including Wu Lei, Liang Jiahui, Carina Lau, Dong Qi, Ming Dao... Producer Yang Hongtao announced that he will create a truly top-notch Chinese-language magic special effects masterpiece, so stay tuned!"

"The crew of Legend of the Demon Cat has announced the start of filming at the Xiangyang Tangcheng Film and Television Base this morning. All the actors have arrived. Director Chen Kai personally presided over the film's start-up ceremony and said that the film is expected to meet fans next year."

In addition to the news of the start of filming of these two big-budget movies, there was also news online that the third part of Jiang Wen’s “Beiyang Trilogy”, “Evil Does Not Suppress Justice”, had begun casting.

For a time, there was a sensation in the industry!
In addition to this, a TV series that made many people in the industry feel "speechless" was also announced to start filming.

"A Chinese Odyssey: Love You For Ten Thousand Years?"

Looking at the title of this TV series, Chen Fei couldn't help but admire Liu Zhenwei.

This guy has really become shameless. He has been seizing the "Westward Journey" IP as if he wants to eat it to death, and has been frantically trying to get attention around this IP again and again.

After his previous movie flopped, he seemed to have learned his lesson this time. He actually brought in a bunch of popular mainland actors and started filming a TV series!
Looking around, the promotional materials were scattered everywhere, which was really dazzling.

"A Chinese Odyssey: Love You For Ten Thousand Years" is produced by Chunqiu Times (Horgos) Films and brings together a number of talented actors including Huang Zitao, Yin Zheng, Zhao Yi, Liu Tianzuo, and Du Ruoxi.

The play mainly tells the story of Fairy Zixia and Zhizunbao, who went through hardships in pursuit of the love in their hearts; in the end, Fairy Zixia died to save Zhizunbao, and Zhizunbao, after experiencing the pain of earthly love, decided to follow Tang Sanzang on his journey to the West to obtain Buddhist scriptures.

"The crew of "A Chinese Odyssey: Love You For Ten Thousand Years" invited a Hollywood film makeup team to challenge a TV drama project for the first time, and spent a lot of money to create the looks of Sun Wukong, Zhu Bajie, and the White Bone Demon."

"The crew spent a huge amount of money to create more than 3000 magical scenes exclusively for "A Chinese Odyssey" in the capital. The total number of costumes used by the crew reached more than 322 sets, the number of filming locations reached 4, the number of actors involved was close to 500, and as many as weapons were built..."

I don’t know when it started, but various film and television crews always like to digitize various situations when promoting their products.

It seems that by doing this, it can be shown that the workmanship is very fine.

But judging from the performance of "Legend of the Gods", this kind of "data-based" behavior is obviously unreliable. At most, it can only cause some admiration and attention during promotion.

What made many people in the industry feel sick was that at the launch conference, Liu Zhenwei actually gave Huang Zitao a wave of praise!
"In order to play the role of Sun Wukong well, Huang Zitao risked his skin being damaged and sat still for several hours to complete the makeup application. I admire this very much. Many young actors today do not have such perseverance.

Moreover, Huang Zitao also had to play two roles in the play, challenging himself to play the handsome Monkey King and the funny Zhizunbao. At first, I was worried that he would not be able to handle the role, but unexpectedly, his performance was so brilliant, which was beyond my expectation..."

Looking at these remarks coming out of Liu Zhenwei's mouth, Chen Fei suddenly thought of the movie "A Chinese Odyssey Part Three".

This movie was directed by Liu Zhenwei himself. When filming started, he even shouted out the slogan that the Korean drama "Supreme Treasure" is destined to become a classic!

Today, Huang Zitao's version of Supreme Treasure has become one of the classics.

This makes people wonder, who is the real "classic version of Supreme Treasure"?
"Is rehashing old stuff really that good? Why do I feel like he's always making a fuss about 'A Chinese Odyssey'? Can he really make money from it? Or is it purely for sentimentality?"

Listening to Wang Changtian's words on the phone, Fade Chen sneered and said, "To be precise, it should be to make money from those sentimental fans. After all, there are still quite a lot of people who support the IP of 'A Chinese Odyssey'."

"Oh, is that so? Earning sentimentality... this is a good source of income."

Wang Changtian muttered to himself, not knowing what he was thinking about.

"Anything else? If not, I'll hang up first. Director Han will come to the company later, and I have to entertain him."

"It's okay, it's okay, you go ahead and do your work. I'll go check Weibo. My assistant said that the fat lady in Hong Kong is going crazy online because the box office of the movie starring her son is so poor."

Upon hearing this, Fade Chen immediately became interested: "Huh? The fat lady is crazy? Then I'll go take a look too."

After hanging up the phone, he opened Weibo and saw a long article published by Xiang Tai on the homepage:
"I am really disappointed with the box office performance of The Legend of the Gods, in which my son starred. I never expected such a poor result!
At first, I just thought there was a problem with the quality of the film, but after investigation, I found that there were quite a few people around me who praised the quality of the film, and many people were full of praise for the quality and plot of the film.

In particular, Xiang Zuo's performance was unanimously recognized by many actors including Li Lianlian, Chow Yun-fat, and Tony Leung Chiu-wai!
So why, despite the excellent quality of the film and the excellent acting skills of the actors, it still suffered from public attacks and unfair treatment in theater scheduling?

I am now very suspicious. Is it possible that some colleagues are secretly doing something to discredit the movie starring my son in order to achieve their ulterior motives?
I really don't understand why a top-notch large-scale epic with magical special effects can't beat a cheesy low-budget comedy movie? Is it really because of the film itself?
As for some mainland cinema chains, your actions really disappoint me and netizens. You deliberately suppress the screening schedule in an attempt to bring down this movie, and even suppress and expel Hong Kong filmmakers. Is this the right approach?

If you don't give me an explanation, I will never give up! Giving up is not my style, even if it means risking everything..."

It hasn’t been long since the Weibo post was published, but its popularity has already skyrocketed.

It is no exaggeration to say that the entire film industry, including major cinema companies in the mainland, were stunned by Xiang Tai’s “accusation”.

It's obvious that the quality of this movie starring your stupid son is too poor, so we compressed the screening schedule. How come you say it's intentional suppression?

You still want an explanation? Who the hell do you think you are?

"What the hell? This guy is coming for me!"

Chen Fei was speechless at this time, because the implied meaning of the long article was just one thing, that is, "Detective Chinatown 2" was "bullying" "Legend of the Gods".

At this moment, he even suspected that this fat lady was too fat and her fat was pressing on her brain nerves?

Can he just bully others about something like a movie release?

The mainland cinema market is so large, how could it not accommodate two movies at the same time?

The reason why the theaters adjusted the screening schedule is obviously because "The Legend of the Gods" is too bad and there are too few audiences watching the movie.

But when she said it, it turned into being bullied!
"Fuck, I'm really drunk!"

Chen Fei was speechless.

If this were seen by uninformed netizens, they would actually think that the facts were just as Xiang Tai said.

"Director Chen, Director Han is here." The secretary suddenly pushed the door open and walked in, interrupting Chen Fei's speechless mood.

"Okay, ask him to come to the reception room. I'll be there right away."

Picking up the phone, Chen Fei walked straight out of the office.

The main purpose of the two people meeting today was still for the movie "Dying to Survive".

Since the younger generations have needs, they, as the elders, naturally have to help.

What's more, the script is really good, and if nothing unexpected happens, winning an award should be a sure thing.

Therefore, the two of them naturally chose to support with all their might.

When he saw Han Sanping, Chen Fei noticed that he was frowning, with disgust and speechlessness on his face, as if he had seen some disgusting scene.

You don't have to guess to know that he must have also seen the Weibo post posted by the fat lady.

Chen Fei casually greeted him: "Boss Han, are you checking Weibo?"

"This fat, stupid woman, her company is bankrupt, yet she still wants to jump around. She has forgotten the pain once the wound has healed!" Han Sanping's tone was full of disgust. When he was in office, he was often disgusted by the filmmakers in Hong Kong, especially Wu Yu, who was the lifelong enemy of "Zuoshan Diao"!
"There's no need to be angry about them." Fade Chen waved his hand and said nonchalantly, "I've already arranged everything. Since she said that the mainland film industry bullied her, I'll let her see what real bullying is!"

"What do you want to do?"

"You'll know when the time comes." Chen Fei changed the subject and said, "Let's talk about business first. How are you going to arrange the script for Jia Nu?"

Hearing this, Han Sanping put away his phone, organized his words, and said:

"Yesterday I specifically went to inquire about it. Lu Yong's incident has actually been noticed by the higher-ups, and I have received accurate information that the relevant laws and regulations are being revised.

If nothing unexpected happens, the Supreme People's Procuratorate will issue official documents around the end of the year and redefine the way such cases are handled.

After receiving this news, I went to the Tong Bureau again. Now there is no problem with the Film Bureau. With my connections, it is not difficult for this script to be reviewed, but what we need to consider now is the large-scale impact caused by this script..."

Chen Fei added: "So, we still need the support of other departments and units, right?"

"That's right! This cake needs to be divided up, and the more the better. It would be best if we could bring in the health, medicine, publicity, and justice sectors. The bigger the lineup, the more stable this movie will be!"

The national conditions in China are different from those in Hollywood, where what they believe in and advocate is "freedom" of speech and behavior.

Just like when Chen Fei was filming "Dallas Buyers Club", there weren't so many twists and turns. After the script was written, they just started filming, and no one cared at all.

But the situation in China is different.

In order to avoid uncontrollable impacts, the leaders will usually take the lead in dealing with the party that is causing the trouble.

Therefore, if you want to make "Dying to Survive", you must build a solid enough foundation!

Thinking of this, Fade Chen's mind turned slightly, and he said, "I can persuade the Supreme People's Procuratorate, the Golden Shield, the Navy and other units. I can also go to the Central Propaganda Department to say hello, but the most critical health and medicine..."

"I'll take care of the health and medicine." Han Sanping was quite open-minded: "After all, I have accumulated decades of achievements and connections. I can't take them all with me into my coffin. It's time to use them."

Chen Fei reminded at the right time: "There are also Shanghai Film Studio and Xiying Film Studio..."

"I greeted Wang Yong and Ren Zhonglun when I came this morning. They are both very reliable and will definitely get the job done..."

The two continued to talk about issues related to review and preparation, and tacitly did not mention China Film and La Peikang.

We are all adults and have been working together for so long, so we naturally know what the bottom line of each other is.

To be honest, Han Sanping actually felt quite regretful.

You know, I had deliberately built a bridge and brought together Chen Fei and La Peikang, and I wanted Feiyue Film and Television and China Film to continue to cooperate.

But no one expected that in the end the two of them still broke up, and in a very "awkward" way!
……

At noon, after Han Sanping had a meal in the cafeteria, Chen Fei sent him out of the company.

"Go back. I'm not old enough to need you to send me home."

Han Sanping waved his hand, sat in the driving seat, stepped on the accelerator and rushed out.

"Hey?! Slow down!"

After waving away the exhaust gas lingering in front of him, Fade Chen turned and walked into the company.

A lot of hot search news appeared on Weibo at this time, competing for popularity with the long article released by Xiang Tai.

"Huayi announced the personnel changes. Ye Ning, the former general manager of Wanda Cinema and Distribution Department, will be appointed as the current distribution and cinema manager of Huayi Brothers Co., Ltd., in charge of publicity operations and distribution business..."

"At 10 o'clock this morning, Jiaxing Media held a grand 'Yang Mi and Honeybee th Anniversary Fan Meeting' in Beijing, with a large number of fans in attendance."

"LeTV's stock price suddenly plummeted, and it is suspected that a large capital institution has withdrawn from the market. LeTV issued a statement saying that this is a normal fluctuation and reassured shareholders that there is no need to be nervous."

"An insider revealed that the crew of The Lonely Queen is currently in a state of chaos, and the leading actress Yang Ying is suspected of having an argument with an actor in the crew..."

"Reprinted from The Hollywood Journal, "Pirates of the Caribbean 5", which is controlled by Disney Studios, officially started shooting in North America today. Depp made a speech at the launch conference, calling on fans to support his other starring work "Ben-Hur"..."

The Internet is very lively at the moment, with netizens' attention being drawn to one hot search after another.

But on the other hand, Wanda was completely enveloped in an atmosphere of "anger"!

When Huayi released a notice announcing that Ye Ning would concurrently serve as the manager of both the cinema and distribution departments, Big Boss Wang simply overturned the computer in the office!

You know, the distribution business is mainly responsible for connecting with major theater chains.

When Ye Ning worked at Wanda, he was responsible for this kind of business.

Relying on Wanda’s resources, he has been cooperating with major domestic cinema chains for more than ten years and has accumulated countless connections and resources.

But now, with Huayi poaching Ye Ning, these connections and resources naturally became the "delicacy" for the two Wang brothers to enjoy.

And the worst thing is that in the coming period, in order for Huayi's distribution business to proceed smoothly, Ye Ning will have to continue to deal with Wanda!
As a result, the two sides are naturally like enemies, extremely jealous of each other! However, due to the influence of policies, they have to cooperate.

This provocative behavior immediately pissed off Big Wang!

“From now on, whenever Huayi’s project comes across my side, I will not care what means you use. I will suppress those who should be suppressed and grab those who should be grabbed. I will never let them have an easy time!

Also, arrange for someone to investigate. I don't believe that the two brothers have clean hands and feet. From today on, Wanda and Huayi will fight to the death!"

Wang Jianlin's low and cold roar echoed in the conference room, and it was obvious that he was extremely angry.

The opponents have started to shit and piss on them. If they don’t do something, the outside world will really think that Wanda is easy to bully!
"Liu Xiaobin, your previous approach to 'Rock and Roll Tibetan Mastiff' was very good. You can continue to use it next time. Didn't Feng Xiaogang sign a gambling agreement with Huayi? Go all out on this movie until it's crushed to death!"

"Okay, Mr. Wang, I understand."

In the meeting that lasted nearly an hour, Wang Jianlin did not talk about other topics, but only made a series of "hunting" plans against Huayi.

Wanda is now at the peak of its prosperity. Facing Huayi, all the senior executives are full of confidence and have already sentenced it to death with words.

At the end of the meeting, Wang Jianlin also specifically learned about the long article published by Xiang Tai on Weibo: "Wanda Cinemas did not deliberately suppress the screening of "Legend of the Gods", right?"

"Of course not." Liu Xiaobin shook his head and explained, "It's mainly because the quality of this movie is too poor and the attendance rate has been declining, so the theaters have suppressed the screening schedule."

Then he added, "I have already contacted Mr. Chen. We will jointly issue a statement tomorrow. Let's kill her first."

"Okay, let's deal with this as soon as possible. Don't let the heat spread any further. It will make it seem like we are deliberately bullying others."
